[Dixielandjazz] Snip from NY TIMES article

[Stephen G Barbone]

Hi Janie & Listmates.

No, I'm not in New Orleans.  That first sentence was from the Times  
review. I'm not sure why it printed in front of my message. It was  
from Nate's review. I had some trouble cutting and pasting it in and  
had to do it paragraph by paragraph, else all I got was gibberish.  
Being a fan of both McDermott and Christopher, I wish I had been  
there. <grin>

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
